If Google's executives didn't perennially have their heads up their asses they would have turned Google+ into a LinkedIn competitor, integrated with their search platform.
They did have their heads up their asses, they didn't do anything because the company never innovates on new ways to make money that are actually simple and achievable. It's more interesting to go for things like self-driving cars and then fail at them.
And now we are stuck with this awful awful platform that is LinkedIn.
The influencers make me want to gouge my eyes out. It's just plain nauseating to read this empty drivel, and you can't escape it.
The worst is the obvious performative social justice messaging. Seeing my former CEO, who makes 111 times what his average coder makes, prattling on about equity is just plain awful.
Ditto for the regurgitated dozens of times stories of inspiration that are almost certainly fabricated or exaggerated. You see the same story over and over but it mutates and changes over time with little pictures added here and there......
